Tim Burton remains non-committal on 'Beetlejuice' sequel

During our recent sit-down with Tim Burton about his forthcoming stop-motion effort "Frankenweenie," the subject of that previously-reported "Beetlejuice" sequel (which is being penned by "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" author Seth Grahame-Smith) was bound to come up - and of course, it did. But the "Dark Shadows" helmer remained non-committal on whether he was interested in possibly directing the proposed follow-up; after all, he hasn't even seen a completed script yet.

"Seth [Grahame-Smith] is writing something," said Burton. "[I'll] see what he comes up with."

But is he even keen on doing it in the first place?

"If [Seth's script is] interesting," he noted, to some laughter. "Although I don't know if I'd ever know a good script if it bit me in the face, but...I, you know, I know what I like. But we'll see."
